Descrizione

Animantica Etna Rosso DOC by Animaetnea is made in Sicily and expresses the character of Mount Etna through the Nerello Mascalese grape. This red wine shows a bright ruby-garnet colour and an open, finely defined aromatic profile. The nose reveals notes of strawberry, raspberry and blood orange, followed by stony and earthy nuances that underline its distinctive origin.

On the palate, it is juicy and fruit-driven, supported by intense, firm tannins. The finish is full-bodied, focused and persistent, combining freshness with structure and depth. Animantica is an excellent choice for those looking to discover an expressive Etna Rosso with a strong sense of place. Enjoy it with savoury Sicilian dishes, roasted meats, mushrooms, aged cheeses or grilled vegetables. Its balanced fruit character and decisive structure make it suitable for relaxed meals as well as more refined occasions.

Winery history

Animaetnea was born as a project focused on expressing the Etna terroir; multiple sources indicate that it is the Etna branch linked to the Feudo Maccari / Tenuta Sette Ponti group, with recent debuts of a series of wines that have attracted international attention. The official website and industry articles highlight historic vineyards on lava terraces in Passopisciaro and an initial production centered on four wines.

Production philosophy

The winery aims to convey the volcanic terroir of Etna through authentic, uncontrived wines, prioritizing the expression of the place, heroic viticulture on lava soils, and, where present, the use of ungrafted vines to preserve the vineyard’s history and biodiversity.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located in Contrada Santo Spirito in Passopisciaro on the northern slope of Mount Etna: black volcanic soils, high elevations and a highly variable climate that impart minerality, acidity and freshness to the wines.
